VANCOUVER- More than half of the residents of First Nations communities in British Columbia have received at least one dose of
COVID-19 vaccine, but most Indigenous people who live outside of those areas are still waiting.
The First Nations Health Authority says over 30,000 vaccinations have been administered in Indigenous communities, representing about 54 per cent of residents of reserves.
Katie Hughes, vice-president of the public health response team, says people in 143 out of 203 communities have been offered at least one dose and immunization clinics are planned in the remaining 60 before the end of March.
